What this shows SKY's Innovation Score is 56.9/100 (top 6% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for SKY?

Each dot is one of SKY’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). SKY’s own 15.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where SKY's grants concentrate

SKY Tech Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under C23C (Coating Metallic MATERIAL; Coating Material With Metallic MATERIAL; Surface Treatment OF Metallic Material BY Diffusion Into THE Surface, BY Chemical Conversion OR SUBSTITUTION; Coating BY Vacuum Evap). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (17 grants) versus a trough of 11 in 2022. By volume, SKY sits between Sartorius LAB Instruments GMBH & Co. KG and SawStop Holding LLC.

SKY's three-year grant acceleration

SKY Tech Inc. shows 39 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
